Wedding Photography Dumbleton Hall / St. Nicholas Church, Tewkesbury

Ben & Amy - 18th April 2009

Amy...........what a smasher she is. She's been reading this blog religously ever since booking me as her photographer (over a year ago), and finally her big day came last weekend. And what a day. The polar opposite in weather compared to my Friday wedding (see previous post below) as it was stonkingly hot (well for April anyway).

When I arrived the girls were on top form and make up was talk of the morning......clearly 50% of the wedding budget was spent on that, although I'm sure Ben doesn't know the exact figures here!

A sweet ceremony at St. Nicholas Church, Tewkesbury was followed by fine dining at Dumbleton Hall. I've shot there a few times before, but as I always say to new couples, each wedding is unique, and we found some new angles to shoot from and produced a cracking set of photos.

Here are a small selection followed by a slideshow to give you a flavour of the day - enjoy.

Make up galore - girlie heaven.

Dresses, make-up, dresses, make-up - you get the idea.

....and finally they were indeed ready for the wedding ceremony.

Cool bride - love the bouquet in the air.

Lovin' this shot on the right outside Dumbleton Hall - with a lucky gust of wind too.

Dumbleton Hall, set amongst some beautiful grounds.

This is such a cute shot. Taken swiftly whilst sorting a couple of family group photos - fab.

Point and Shoot - were they taking photos of this dude below?

Dude, no photos of me please!

Not many grooms will cut their speech so close to the bone as Ben did. Mentioning housework on your wedding day is one of the mild one-liners he made.....the others aren't fit for blogging!

"aaarrrrgh, not a power point presentation surely"........

This lovely lady (above) found it very funny though.

Beautiful evening light for some couple portraits.

OK. So this (above) is my absolute fav photo from the day. I'd be eyeing up this angle of Dumbleton Hall and when Ben also mentioned it I just had to shoot it. Fab architecture, strong lines and a cute couple - whooopa 'click' it's in the bag.

This is very sweet. I went all commando on this one too (no, I was wearing pants.....what I mean is crawling about on the floor)!

....and the slideshow (bring it on!).

If a summer wedding isn't on the cards for you, why not have a look at these Dumbleton Hall winter wedding photos.....it's a very different place with snow on the ground, but made for an amazing wedding day.
